Wallace was very average and so was Kurt Gidley. Mullen has to come in as halfback for game 2. Far more creative and will be able to give guys like Jennings and Hayne the space they need to be effective.

It's not about being confident, for me it's about fading QLD at such short odds away from home. I don't see how $1.55 in Sydney represents any kind of value on them to be honest also keeping in mind how poor they have been in Sydney over the last 8 years.
